‘Share Bears’ is a group show which celebrates 14 new collaborations between 28 members of the BACKLIT creative community, developed during the Covid-19 pandemic. The exhibition is a development of the weekly “Share Bear” sessions initiated by BACKLIT artist development coordinator Joey Holder in which artist members, volunteers as well as the BACKLIT team and trustees connected online to share their experiences and works in progress. These works collectively explore themes of self-reflection, locality and domestic settings as well as the processes of making work and the sharing of knowledge. The exhibition is curated by Director Matthew Chesney and Co-Curator, Jazz Swali.
From Derbyshire to Barbados; mycorrhizal networks to the movements of the stars; Irish potatoes to Cheshire weeds – re:rural is a project by Haarlem Artspace in which the rural is un-learned and re-imagined by four contemporary artists whose practices have evolved from years of working within particular non-urban geographies: Annalee Davis, Feral Practice, Deirdre O’Mahony and Pauline Woolley - read here.
Haarlem Periodical will be live from 11 September.
Thanks to funding from Arts Council England, Haarlem Artspace has brought together exhibitions called re:rural – featuring drawings and a sculpture by artists Annalee Davis inside and outside Haarlem’s gallery, and sound, moving image, and text works on Haarlem Periodical by artists Deirdre O’Mahony, Feral Practice, Pauline Woolley and Annalee Davis.
re:rural travels from deep under the earth to the skies, from Derbyshire to the Caribbean in an artistic quest to re-imagine land and landscapes; from a guided meditation through the human body and down to the underworld of living soil, the drawing of botanical plants on plantation ledgers, and the recreation of potato lazy beds.

Writing Skyscapes is the culmination of a two-day public writing workshop led by researchers specializing in astronomy and literature from Nottingham Trent University and the Critical Poetics Research Group. Working in partnership with Creswell Crags Museum and Heritage Centre and Backlit Gallery, Nottingham, and with guest writers and artists, Holly Corfield Carr, Richard Hamblyn and Helen McGhie, participants explored new ways of engaging with the sky from multiple viewpoints and from both rural and urban perspectives.
Now, this exhibition of images and new writing will be on display at Backlit Gallery, Nottingham (Friday 12th April – Sunday 14th April; 12-5pm) and Creswell Crags (15th to 28th April). SHOW HAS BEEN EXTENDED.

One of the basic “don’t” lessons in photography is pointing your camera at the sun. This show brings together artists who have done just this, using handmade cameras to photograph the sun, moon and stars. With exposure times of several months - and cosmological subjects several thousand miles away - these images compress both time and space into single, fragile images. Including such alternative processes as pinhole solargraphy, lunar photography, motor controlled time-lapse and chemigrams, this exhibition reveals a fascination with the pristine world of outer space through the idiosyncratic lens of earthly existence.
